The 38mm case is a redesign, measuring 11.5mm thick with the sapphire crystal and 44.75mm lug-to-lug.
The dial technique combines silver leaf gilding with Son Mai lacquer, involving twelve successive layers of natural lacquer, each sanded and polished.
The four Vignette dial colours are Indian Red, Java Green, Gentian Blue, and Purple Viola, inspired by 1970s and 1980s watchmaking aesthetics.
The hands and applied hour markers feature BGW9 luminous bases topped with sculpted steel caps that conceal the lume during the day.
The La Joux-Perret G101 calibre features a tungsten oscillating weight decorated with alternating recessed and raised surfaces and various finishes.
Straps are from Maison Jean Rousseau and Bouveret, featuring rubberised calfskin lining and a Fitwell M1 micro-adjustable pin buckle.
